Folks would find a way to call it CzechomoraviaRepublic of Bohemia and Moravia?
TBH that would be a much better name than Czech Republic.

But hopefully the full dA version (which is sadly too big to put directly on AH) may help.
Mostly, I try to find the balance between aesthetically pleasing and lines that make logical sense. Sometimes I use geographic features, like mountain ranges and rivers. Other times, I might divide something up by ethnic or religious boundaries, if I'm working with somewhere like India, which tends to do things like that. There's a lot of guesswork involved, too, because borders are weird and sometimes there's nothing around to divide up the land. That's not an immediate "draw straight lines everywhere" card, though. A lot of real-world national borders that are in the middle of nowhere (for instance, that damn Kazakh border) aren't straight lines. Straight lines and solid colors seem lazy and unfinished (see: OTL Wyoming and Colorado, virtually indistinguishable on a map) I prefer to add as many subdivisions as possible, because even something as small as Germany feels like a SFE when it's just a block of gray, but that's just my personal preference.@HeX how did you draw your colonial borders for your France, Germany, and Mexico wanks?
What would Americans want with Micronesia? Going by the Yanks tryingt onget Guam but they found they could buy the whole kicking kabootle for about the same price? And with all of this one would think the Americans would also try to get Cuba. I expect Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo to make things fun, given the mixed nature of the population. There would be some difficulty in any of them riding carriages in the South, but I suppose people will continue the polite fiction about them just having tans from the sun or darker skin from Spanish blood. I assume people in the South did that back then at least, as I once read where a woman escaped slavery partially by yellowing up her face and passing as a man from Cuba. Come to think of it, Micronesia isn't going to get statehood right away, is it? I am remembering old editorial cartoons, and they tended to have all of the US's new acquisitions as having bones through their hair or nose.An alternate map of the US, with 53 states; in this TL: they bought the Virgin Islands in 1867, the annexation of Santo Domingo is successful in 1870, then, in 1898, in addition of the annexation of Hawaii, the US bought Micronesia and Porto Rico to Spain.
Because it is built on an Indian burial ground?ngl, this is one of the most cursed maps on this site
As the Navajo have all of Four Corners, I see you made up for it by making a cube.View attachment 493980

I should note that those three islands right to the South of South Korea are actually peninsulas. Well, at least two, though real world maps do sometimes hide just how much of what is labeled as land is actually submerged.The Empire of Nippon is an advanced, wealthy nation in East Asia. Comprised of a number of islands off the coast of the Asian continent, Nippon has had a long history that included long stretches of isolationism. All of that changed in the mid-19th century when the nation reformed and began industrializing - in part a reaction to the modernization of China around the same time. A natural rival to China, Nippon maintains a strong army and navy. Despite the two nations tense past, the two countries maintain a amicable friendship in the modern era. Nippon has one of the strongest economies on the planet and is a major player in both the Pan-Pacific Trade Union and the Greater Asian Prosperity Organization.
Just a shame Huron couldn't be fit in there.Yep, as someone from the OTL proposed US state of Superior I had to
Let us all now think over the implications over how Germany and Slovakia might have each been supporting a sided and what it would have looked like if they came to a partition. As for the Poles around Troppau and Ostrava... I guess we should consider them Albanians?

What about Silesia as Kosovo?Austria as Montenegro? Where would Montenegro and Kosovo be anyway? Maybe Posen or East Prussia as Kosovo if you go with Poles as Albanians.
I guess people just really like the idea of making the world more white than otl.
I was replying to the comment I was replying to, which basically mentions the common cliche of Africa being whiter in quite a large amount of AH scenarios. And I didn't pay attention to what the OP had made.This is more than a bit out of line. OP posts a map of an alternate South Africa with no demographics and this is your response?

Ahhh, you made the map instead of using a base map? If so, you have got quite a bit of detail down. And I think it would be economically unfeasible, but you might have something mentioned on mass excavations to fulfill treaty requirements where the Japanese get all the islands of Korea.Would it work if Japan purposefully terraformed the affected peninsulas to create islands?

Uh...The orange is where the majority of blacks live today (presumably because of something during 1800's idk) and now all of them live there ; ), also with low autonomy, it's mainly just meant to put them all in one place, not give them authority over something.
I can sense a certain bear coming...This is my ideal America.
Uh...

actually guys at this point there's no point making chain reaction posts because we just know what's going to happen.Uh...
This is my ideal America.
Starting off, yes I gave Mexico its lands back. Just too unmanageable in this scenario to keep it.
The light green thing are territories belonging to natives that we gave them with very very low autonomy.
The orange is where the majority of blacks live today (presumably because of something during 1800's idk) and now all of them live there ; ), also with low autonomy, it's mainly just meant to put them all in one place, not give them authority over something. the native American places on the other hand have the opposite reason for existing.
the Blue is french lands... I left France on the far right of the screen so you could see that they have the same color
I left the permafrost there because I couldn't decide if it was better with or without so I just didn't touch it (and ironically ended up deciding by leaving it I guess), and due to the color scheme I used the Fascist American color and the 2nd level divisions (U.S states) are hard to distinguish, but yes, I made states. There is a second map included where I just used the default U.S color so you could
see the state borders a lot better.
